Orange Is The New Black

Orange is the new black… or adding a pop of  color to an otherwise boring outfit…

Hello my Lovelies!

Today we are going to talk color and your wardrobe. I personally am a big fan of color. I don’t wear nearly as much of it as I would like, but a pop of color is a great way to add interest and fun to an outfit.

Of course, the most popular color that most folks were, especially when “dressing up” is black. It is classic, it is slimming, and it is always in style. Every girl needs that  little black dress and every guy needs a black shirt or two, both button up and t shirt.

But black can also be harsh, and lets be honest, it does not look great on every one. A bit of color goes a long way in spicing up an unrelieved black outfit. I am a big fan of scarves or pins to add a bit of color. In colder climates this is even a great option for the guys. Not only do they keep you warm, but there are a variety of types of now available and a wide variety of ways to wear a scarf.

There are even on line tutorials showing some of the fun ways that you can tie a scarf around your neck, in your hair, or even as a belt. 

Scarves have become popular with celebrities as well as your average every day Jane or Joe. Since they come in so many weights, lengths and styles they are an easy and often cheap way to add interest to an outfit, suit, dress or jacket. Scarves are now in all year long.

The newest style to be popular is the infinity scarf, rather than the traditional single length of cloth, the infinity scarf is sewn or knitted into a round and is essentially a loop of material. It can be worn in one long loop or wrapped multiple times to form a shorter layered look.  It is a modern twist on the classic cowl scarf, that could be worn as either a scarf or a hood

 

With a million ways to wear scars and just as many colors to choose from they are a great way to add color and fun to any outfit, or even your hair. So, both guys and gals, spend a couple dollars for a great accessory that is not just for winter any more and brighten up that wardrobe in a way that will not break the bank!

Until next week… Hugs.
